The great Butcher is dead.
Kissinger came to prominence after arguing tactical use of nuclear weapons was rational.
His argument was that it was better to evaporate 1 million people rather than evaporate everyone.
He was a genius who had no problems butchering innocent people for the ‘greater good’.
That ‘greater good’ saw detente with the Soviet Union and rapprochement with China, but it also so hundreds of thousands dead in the secret bombing campaign of Cambodia which also triggered the abomination of the Khmer Rouge and the horror of the Killing Fields where a million were massacred.
There was also the ‘Greater Good’ of the paramilitary death squads in Chile and Argentina.
Kissinger believed violence was necessary for National Interest and he was allowed to be a war criminal because he was our war criminal.
He was nothing more than an intellectual justification for immorality to defend Western privilege.
May he burn in hell and may his many, many, many victims watch in glee.

AMEN TO THAT
Desk killer Adolf Eichman was tried and executed as a war criminal. Kissinger escaped this.
The poison toad Kissinger has finally joined his mates Thatcher & Pinochet. Good Riddance.
Well put.
Us “useless eaters ” can afford a slight sigh of relief , that is until we realise theres plenty more where he came from .
Rolling Stone has one of the best headlines for this:

Great stuff. And true.
If his victims are watching him burn with glee, then, theologically-speaking, when Death eventually claims them, they’ll find themselves burning right alongside him.
I have no wish to eternally damn him, he is a case of those without sin casting the first stone. Sin he certainly did, I think more in the banal style described by Arndt. The incidental maybe accidental good we benefited from were strategic arms limitation that reduced chances of nuclear war, and it’s partner detente.
There is always a need for realists advocating the need to stand up to threats whether they be the Mongol Horde or Nazi Germany and Kissinger was the embodiment of just that – and as soon as they are neutered by the ‘wishful-thinking happy-clapping brigade’ in the West we are fucked – as in Khmer Rouge Year Zero fucked not the local café running out of oat milk kind of Ponsonby fucked.
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
― Anthony Bourdain
It seems that chefs have more intelligence and empathy than most politicians. Not something I would have thought myself, but they go.
The Good die young.
Kissingers one of those figures who deserves it straight away simply for hypocrisy making the economy scream, his words. Kissinger wasn’t the guy you all watch out for. Like he talked about tactical use of nukes and state sponsored terrorism against the people. Like he had the tough words but not the tough body. He had a big brain but small shoulders and skinny arms. If someone said that I had to take several punches from Kissinger in his prime I wouldn’t be scared. Like tough guys just don’t act like him.
